  BRITISH CELTIC NOBLES
Tincommius continued to rule the kingdom from Noviomagus on the south coast, and left his brother Eppillus to govern the northern tribal lands from Calleva.
It is possible that during the period of joint rule, Tincommius governed the southern half of the Atrebatean realm, operating from the oppidum of Noviomagus, and upon his succession he preferred to stay at the southerly sea port.
This left his brother Eppillus to govern the northern territory from Calleva, and was to be the undoing of the lazy Tincommius, for it is from this time that the oppidum at Calleva developed into the main centre of Atrebatean power, under the rule of Eppilus.

It is possible that during the period of joint rule, Tincommius governed the southern half of the Atrebatean territory from Noviomagus, where he stayed in the south.
Around 5BC, it would appear that diplomatic initiatives were instated between Tincommius and the emperor which were bonded in a treaty.
Eppillus appeared to play the subordinate to his brother, but this was merely a ploy to lull Tincommius into a false sense of security.

Commius was succeeded by his son, Tincommius, whom I am told ruled for twenty five years, having made a peace of sorts with the Divine Augustus.
Tincommius even began to mint coins with his image in the Roman style, as did his brothers Verica and Eppillus.
But Tincommius would have to flea to Augustus due to the treachery of his brother Eppillus who desired to rule in his stead.

This prince appears to have had three sons: Tincommius, who was king of the Regni (practically answering to the present county of Sussex) ; Verica, whose sway was over the eastern part of the Atrebates (Berkshire and the north part of Wilts), and Eppilos, who ruled over Kent.

This might indicate a political change, with a much closer relationship between the Atrebatic leader, Tincommius, and the Romans.
It could have been the result of a deep enmity that had developed between the Atrebates and their neighbours to the north, the Catuvellauni, who had been the leaders of the British resistance to Caesar's army.
The coins of Verica, the successor of Tincommius, are matched by those of the Kentish king, Epillus, suggesting perhaps similar attitudes to Rome.

Tincommius adopted a pro-Roman policy and was recognised by the Emperor Augustus as a 'client-King' in 15BC.
Like his brother Verica, who issued coins bearing a vine leaf motif and ruled the area of Regni, he came under pressure from Cunobelinus (see the Catuvellauni) and eventually fled to Rome.

The earliest inscribed coins belong to the second half of the first century B.C. They are found in the south-east, and bear the names of Tincommius, Verica, and Eppillus, apparently sons of that Commius who retired from Gaul before the Romans in 51 B.C. (Caesar, Comm.

The current Civitas was created on the death of King Cogidunus, when three civitae were created [Noviomagus Regnensium, Calleva Atrebatum and Venta Belgarum].
Prior to this the, proud Belgae had fought the Romans both in Gaul (France) and in Britain, and had suffered harshly in defeat, with the eastern lands falling under the client king Cogidunus, a descendant of Tincommius who’s kingdom was split by the rebellion of his brother Eppilus.
On the death of Cogidunus, with the new Civitas being created, a certain amount of reconciliation occurred, and Belgae pride was partly restored.

The situation is extremely tricky, widespread food shortages, constant raids by the Durotriges, and Plautius chasing of Caratacus' army deep into the territory of the Silures.
With the aging client-king Verica trying to secure his people the bext possible vantage as subjects of the Roman whilst ensuring annexation does not occur and the hotheaded idealistic younger celtic men (spearheaded by Tincommius) fomenting discord, we're on a rollercoaster of a ride.
Both the newly centurionated Cato and Macro take charge, drilling and educating the Britons in the true mettle of the Roman II Augusta and having several necessary arguments along the way until they eventually proudly blood them in a skirmish against the Durotriges who are attacking one of the supply columns.

The first and third were called off due to revolts elsewhere in the empire, the second because the Britons seemed ready to come to terms.
According to Augustus's Res Gestae, two British kings, Dumnovellaunus and Tincommius, sent supplications to Rome during his reign, and Strabo's Geography, written during this period, says that Britain paid more in customs and duties than could be raised by taxation if the island were conquered.
Caligula planned his own campaign against the British in 40, but its execution was bizarre: according to Suetonius, he drew up his troops in battle formation facing the English Channel and ordered them to attack the standing water.

The most important, however, are those of the Catuvellauni and Trinovantes north of the Thames where Tasciovanus and Cunobelinus (Shakespeare's Cymbeline) struck coins both at Verulamium (St Albans, Hertfordshire) and Camulodunum (Colchester, Essex).
To the south of the Thames sons of Commius ruled the Atrebates: Tincommius, Eppillus (a few of whose issues carry the name of Calleva, the native settlement [oppidum] underlying Roman Silchester), and Verica, whose main mint may have been at Selsey in West Sussex.
This money was struck in gold, silver, and bronze.

This was the first British Iron Age hoard to include Roman jewellery, making the ring and bracelet the earliest securely-dated Roman jewellery ever found in this country.
The hoard also included a number of rare or unique coins, including one which clearly shows that the Atrebatic king Tincommius has been misnamed by 19th- and 20th-century historians and was actually called Tincomarus.
An even more recent acquisition is a hoard of nearly 500 silver pennies found at Appledore near Dungeness on the Kent coast.

Trade with Rome quickly spread among the other tribes and the Pretani had been irrevocably exposed to Roman civilization.
In c.15 BC Caesar Augustus recognized Tincommius of the Atrebatii and Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni as client kings.
This status gave them advantages which allowed them to expand their power in southeast Pretania.

Increased contact with Roman-educated Gauls escaping to Britain — for example, Commius, who had helped Caesar with the attempted invasion, but who became king of the Atrebates in the Sussex area — brought more Roman habits into Britain.
By the end of the first century BC a number of kings in southern England, including Tincommius, Commius' son, who lived at Silchester in Hampshire, had their own mints.
They were striking their own coins inscribed in Latin and calling themselves 'rex' even though they could not themselves read or write.

Could you also say that Strabo was writing at a time of British non-interference?
Augustus mentions in the Res Gestae that two British Kings (Tincommius and.........?) sought Rome's protection, but Augutsus did nothing to reinstate them; this is strange as exiled kings provided excellent 'official' reasons for both Caligula's famous 'British expedition' (seashell incident), and Claudius' invasion.
Furthermore, the imperial poet Horace — a great admirer of Augustus — implies in his Odes that the Augustus could have conquered Britain with ease, but in his apparent clemency chose not to.

The old traditional route from Armorica into Hengistbury Head was severely diminished since Caesar had earlier put down the Veneti rebellion in that area.
